Tail of the Dragon, Wheels Through Time, Asheville, Blue Ridge Parkway, Little Switzerland.A 5 day/4 night drive through the beautiful Smoky Mountains. These are the kind of roads our LBC's were designed for!

Click on the More options link in the map below to view the route details. We'll probably try to stay on secondary roads rather than highways.

So far, the dates that work best for everyone is October 2018 or March/April 2019. Maybe the week of October 14th, after Polo and hot air balloons and before BCD. The foliage should be nice at that time.
